Home Sweet Home: Rebirth

After reading what the movie was about, I was excited to watch it. I'm prone to Morrone and his acting now so I paid him little attention, but I just want to ask. Are the female lead and male lead nepo babies? Because the acting was so atrocious that I had to immediately end the movie 30 mins in. Why spoil such a good movie plot on such terrible acting? My lord. Even the child couldn't act and I've seen younger kids act. I almost had to poke my eyes out. I don't usually stray from big movie productions cause of this same reason and it came to bite me in the back once again. I want back my 30 mins.😩

I watch a lot of movies but don't choose to write many reviews and prefer to leave that to more opinionated people. But this "movie" just begged in every way to be called out. After 90 grueling minutes I came to the conclusion that this movie was written and directed by people who had never actually met other human beings. Not a single line of dialog, interaction, decision or behavior seemed like anything normal people do. Every moment of character interaction felt so fake and lacked any connection to reality making the viewer's experience more like extended torture. There was not 1 likeable character and even the child was nerve gratingly annoying. There was no real plot and most staged scenes felt like they were done on no budget and used CGI to augment the missing elements but failed at every attempt. The fight/combat scenes were laughable jokes with nobody apparently able to fake actual impact. But I did get a big laugh at how the main "hero" (reminding me of Hudson of Hudson & Rex) completely abandons his family and doesn't even seem to care to think of them while the world is supposedly falling apart and he's doing his action hero schtick... badly. This movie feels like it was an overreach by everyone involved and they tried to fill in all the gaps in post with really bad fx work. But for me it didn't work in any way and was more anger inducing than entertaining.

I wonder... How much were the actors paid for this movie? A large portion of it must've gone to the special fx; I'd say because the acting was bad, the script so bland, scene editing so wrong and the characters are annoying to watch!

I looked the title up because of the impressive trailer seen on YouTube, and I should've just left it at that! I wanted to see how damaged Bangkok would be during the tragedy, but the lead characters and even their extras were so laidback throughout their acting. Come to think of it, there was no logic for this story to be produced at all.

I should've just stick to Thai horror movies which gives more scare than this!

The story, effects were very good. Most of the acting was good. However the biggest let down was the lead. This movie would have been much better served with a better casted lead character.

He started off ok. However as the movie progressed his acting kept falling short more and more. He seemed forced, fake, trying too hard.

I do not know ow if I have seen him else where and this doesn't mean he can't or hasn't done better. But this was definitely a failure. The supporting acting, including the little girl was better.

If the actor sees this please take it as a positive criticism on how to improve. It is not meant to demean you.

Reading these reviews made me not really wanna watch, considering I had been waiting ages for the release, but I decided to make my own judgement and it's really not as bad as people put out. Decide for yourself. Yes, the acting was slightly questionable but it's not the worst, and overall it was quite enjoyable. Michele played a good villain, The child was sweet and the mother wasn't so bad. Jake, good, sometimes he overacted but I don't believe it was really as bad as people are making it out to be. They had high expectations due to the trailer but as I said, make your own judgement, it's REALLY not that bad.
